There are trains advertised from PR on 28 May and I am planning to use. Is this correctly advertised?

There is no service between Surrey Quays and Clapham Junction the whole bank holiday weekend (Sat-Mon). Replacement buses are running.


Additionally, I'm a local resident who utilizes the park to walk my two large dogs on a fairly regular basis and enjoy the space. While the festival is not my thing and I won't go, there is absolutely NO reason not to allow this. It's a public event for the public on public land.


For those who are wholly opposed - you have options - get out of town for the weekend, use another park, buy ear plugs (see where I'm going with this?).


At the end of the day this is a good lesson in tolerance, which many people need to learn more of.

Southwark website says the promoters had other choices but they especially liked the "pretty" backdrop of this venue and wanted the visual impact of the trees and park for their ticket buyers. The common has no trees. They also said that on the common sound would be harder to contain, the trees act as a sound buffer.

Maybe we can have Jeremy Corbyn next year as his event at White Hart Lane Rec isn't selling to well :)

The government gives money to the local council but the local council are free to spend the money on whatever you voted for...many Labour councils will withhold money from the front line services and spend more on admin at the Town Hall....YOU have given them carte blanche to do this and do it they will- with impunity if central Government is Tory...so suck it up for another 4 years.

Don't know why that just came to mind...

I know right. I went to Dulwich park this weekend, and did you know, there's a caf?!!!???, right in the middle of the park!!!??? in the exact spot I wanted to sit and listen to my wireless. And all these people(probably out of towners) were in there eating, drinking and enjoying themselves. I don't know why the council didn't think of the local residents who can only use that 100sqm of park space, and couldn't possibly just sit somewhere else.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
